How do neurons communicate?​

• • Neurons communicate with each other through both electrical and chemical messages​
• • Electrical (within a neuron) – Action potential = Brief electrical charge that travels down the axon ​
• • Chemical (between neurons) – Synaptic transmission​
• • The dendrites receive information, which is sent to the cell body and the axon. The information then travels down the axon in the form of an electric message called an “action potential”
• normal neuron use

  
• reflex action
